question 3 of 10
new freedmen moving to established african american communities like
chicago:

a. took jobs wanted by whites.

b. found high demand for their skills.

c. created more competition for limited jobs.

d. found equality in housing opportunities.

Explanation:

During the Great Migration, new freedmen (African Americans) moving to cities like Chicago added to the labor pool. Jobs were limited, so more people competing for them (option C) makes sense. Option A: They often took jobs whites didn't want (like menial labor). Option B: Their skills weren't in high demand due to discrimination and limited opportunities. Option D: Housing discrimination (redlining, etc.) meant no equality in housing. So C is correct.

Answer:

C. created more competition for limited jobs.
